Hmm, absolute hierarchy. As I recall 'Doc' Smith had an example of a world like that, where everyone had a 7 (or so) letter 'name' which described exactly their position in the hierarchy and so no one was exactly equal to any other. I'm sure I've seen something similar in another fictional universe but I don't remember where.
I think that if everyone were equal under the law it might well lead to an increase in liberty
I agree with that, and I like and agree with your two-axis system (I'm very interested to see what other axes you put on it, I suspect that the other points may give indicate least one more).
As far as I can tell you didn't say, though, where you are on the liberty-security (or chaos-order) axis except that you prefer somewhere not at the extremes. I suspect that this may be one place we differ, although agreeing about disliking the extreme points.
I'm interested in your analyses of the other points. Looking at the original comment I found that I disagreed with at least half of his "conservative principles", thus making me a "commie pinko liberal" according to some conservatives (yes, I've actually been called that on at least two political forums)...
